TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, WARREN ROBINSON, of East Highgatc, Franklin county,State of Vermont, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inDumping-Wagons; and do hereby declare that the following is a -full,clear, and exact description thereof, reference being bad to theaccompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon,making a part of this specification.

Figure l represents a view of the boxes and framebefore (lumping.

Figure 2, a view of the frame with the boxes when dumped.

Figure 3, an inverted perspective view of one of the boxes; and

Figure 4, a plan view of the frame with the boxes taken off.

In the annexed drawings, B B represent two side' rails which areconnected by the braces S, and form the frame for the wagon. Erepresents the axle, which is mortised into the frame, and to which areconnected the wheels for the wagon. A represents a series of boxes whichare placed upon the frame, and of a number to suit thelcngth of the saidframe. These boxes are composed each of two sides,a bottom and one endpiece, and maybe made of any convenient size, so that when in theirnormal or, horizontal condition, (as seen in'fig. 1,) they cover theentire top of the frame B B. Under the centre of each box is a circularbox H, which extends slightly beyondeach side of the box for the purposeof resting within small openings [1 on each of the rails B of the frame,and allowing the said boxes to turn. This bar H of each box acts as theaxis for the box, andis the only connection for the frame and box.Attached to each side of each box A, near their forward ends, are cleatsa, which extend about one half the lengths of the boxes, and projectslightly beyond the said boxes, as shown. These cleats act for thedouble purpose of forming shoulders to support the boxes when clumped,

(see fig. 2,) and forin a connection,'making the series of boxescontinuous. Near the rear end of one of the rails 15, is a pin, X, whichis adjustable and passes through the said rail under the rear end of therear box A, and acts as a support for the series of boxes. These boxesare filled with the article desired, when in the condition shownin ,fig.1, and by withdrawing the pin Xmay be revolved upon their axis, as seenin fig. 2, and the article dumped upon the earth or place desired.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, anddesire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The construction of boxes A as herein described and used, with the frameB B, in the manner and for the purposes herein set forth.

WARREN ROBINSON.
